[pacman-dev] NoUpgrade defaults
by Essien Ita Essien 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hiya again, In previous pacman.conf, there were some default NoUpgrade lines for stuff like etc/passwd, etc/shadow, etc In new pacman.conf, there is only HoldPkg for pacman and glibc, any particular reason for this? Pardon me if i've missed something in a previous thread. cheers, Essien

[pacman-dev] recommended usage of distcc/ccache
by Andreas Radke 15 May '07

15 May '07

our wiki page is old. this is how i usesd distcc with makepkg from pacman2.x so i could switch using it with or without ccache: export MAKEFLAGS="-j6" export USE_FAKEROOT="y" export DISTCC="y" export DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/4 192.168.0.25/2" # with ccache export CCACHE_PREFIX="distcc" export CC="ccache gcc" export CXX="ccache g++" # without ccache #unset CCACHE_PREFIX #export CC="distcc gcc" #export CXX="distcc g++" from the /usr/bin/makepkg script it should work even without that additional exports. but it seems to not work without using only that now with makepkg3: MAKEFLAGS="-j4" BUILDENV=(fakeroot distcc color ccache) DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/2 192.168.0.6/2" also JGC pointed us to not use the export commands for ccache: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6957?histring=ccache Can you please tell us what it the recommended best working config for both options? and maybe please update both wiki pages for ccache and distcc. Thanks Andy

[pacman-dev] [patch] Display size for packages
by Nathan Jones 15 May '07

15 May '07

This patch adds a -z|--showsize option to the -Q and -S commands. The option displays the size of individual packages. This is something that I have wanted for a while, and there is a feature request for it [1]. The output is a bit messy, but I find it useful regardless. Some sample output: $ ./pacman -Quz Checking for package upgrades...

There are quite a few places where dividing by 1024 takes place to display the size, and this patch adds a few more. Would it be best to create a humanize_size() function to switch to the appropriate measure (KB, MB, or GB)?

[pacman-dev] Please use _alpm_depcmp!
by Nagy Gabor 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hi! We have this nice function, but it is very rarely used in libalpm source. In most cases it is reimplemented (see trans.c/_alpm_trans_update_depends for example); but there is a bigger problem: in many cases only a package-name comparison is used to check dependencies, which may lead problems (I concerned about this in my previous mails: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-March/002155.html for example). So the whole source should be checked, and this would lead to a much cleaner and more bug-free code. Bye, Nagy Gabor

[pacman-dev] makepkg ignores md5sums?
by Nagy Gabor 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hi! Sorry, this bug(?) may have been reported already (I ignore e-mails about makepkg), and I'm lazy to scan the ML ;-) I run 'makepkg' as non-root for this PKGBUILD: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xchat-xsys/xchat-xsys/PKGBUILD, and makepkg simply ignores md5sums field: Nothing happens if you change it with a wrong md5sum. (Or is the PKGBUILD corrupt? <- It's mine and created after reading 'man PKGBUILD') Bye, ngaba

[pacman-dev] problems using pacman within chroot
by Pierre Schmitz 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi, after updating to pacman3 I cannot instal anything within a chroot environment. I allways get: error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (not enough space on disk) Wel, there is enough space on the disk, but pacman is not able to get the free space. I have the following devices mounted: mount --bind /dev /chroot/arch$1/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /chroot/arch$1/dev/pts mount --bind /dev/shm /chroot/arch$1/dev/shm mount -t proc none /chroot/arch$1/proc mount -t sysfs none /chroot/arch$1/sys Any ideas? pacman2 was working without any problems.
